A further glimpse at the future the Wyrecats envisioned, and what they were doing to make it happen-- down to plugging the free transport/assistive suits on daytime talk shows with more than a little patronizing treatment.

It will not be easy throwing what seems to be an ideal future for a present that there is not much hope of saving. Advertising and giving out bionic suits to any one capable and responsible seems
very noble...

Re-hab: a good therapist exercises many parts of the body in order to increase the function of the whole. The most critical element lies in the center, the pelvisl, the lower back,
, I think a special vest, many pockets, the freedom of the arms. Good Stuff, Neil

There's always a risk with any technology of it being misused, since early man discovered that a stick can be used to beat people over the head. But the mass-produced Wyrecats suits, I imagine, wouldn't have been as inherently dangerous as, say, a car-- nothing like the near-invincible war machines they're wearing today.

Oh, true, but I wasn't commenting on the technology, just the distribution model and pricing structure (or lack thereof), and the certainty that the unscrupulous would find a way to divert a ruinously large percentage of units away from the needy. Every time something is offered for truly free. then parasites swarm like, well parasites, and soak as much of it up as possible.
